This time into the great unknown. According to TMZ, his granddaughter is saying that the daredevil has died.

He has been fighting a health battle for years and suffered from diabetes as well as a disease that left scarring on his lungs. In 1999 he almost died from Hepatitis, undergoing a liver transplant. It’s thought that he got the disease from a blood transfusion. That, following one of his famous wipe outs.

He was a fixture of the 70’s and 80’s in his red white and blue jumpsuits. There truly has never been another thrill-seeker like him and no other daredevil has been willing to push the boundaries, risking life and limb, the way he did.
